In a different comment, I mentioned `40-50 years of momentum against them`, yes, that Germany indeed. In my native Netherlands we're looking to build 2 nuclear plants. I doubt they'll ever be built, as they take a long time to build and the current public in opinion is mildly in favor I suppose (if that at all) but that will swing up and down over the build time.

But yes, shutting them down at this moment is at least bad timing, but the preparations for that have been going on for years apparently. I'm not a nuclear power plant operator so I don't know what is involved with extending operation once certain decisions have been made.
